USC President C. L. Max Nikias announced Friday
that philanthropist Glorya Kaufman gave the university
a monetary gift that will fund the creation of the USC
Glorya Kaufman School of Dance and construction of
the Glorya Kaufman International Dance Center.
The Kaufman School of Dance is the first school
to be created by an endowment at USC in almost
four decades. Though the university did not disclose
the exact amount of the donation, Nikias called it a
“generous gift” in a statement.
With the addition of the Kaufman School of Dance,
USC will have a total of six schools of the arts in its
repertoire, “completing USC’s vibrant portfolio of
visual and performing arts programs,” as Nikias
said in the statement. Other fine arts schools at USC

Several campus groups and
organizations hosted events over
the weekend to kick off USC’s
participation in National Hunger
and Homelessness Awareness
Week with various performances
and charity opportunities.
Hunger and Homelessness
Awareness Week is observed
nationally the week before
Thanksgiving to draw attention
to the problems of hunger and
homelessness in the United
States. About 51,000 people
were counted as homeless in the
county in 2011, according to the
Los Angeles Homeless Services
Authority.
More than 20 neighborhood
and campus groups, including
SC Homelessness Initiative, USC
Graduate Student Government
and USC Student Interfaith
Council, have united to support
the week, according to event
organizer Katherine Schofield, a
minister for campus engagement
at United University Church. The
groups will host several events
each day through Sunday.
The week’s events began
Thursday in Taper Hall with a
double-feature film screening of
the documentary Homeless in
Paradise and the 2009 film The
Soloist . On Friday, programming
included a performance of the
play Surviving the Nickel , at
Ground Zero Performance Cafe.
The play, which was written
by Melvin Ishmael Johnson,
challenges the social perception
of the homeless community,
specifically the community of
Skid Row in Downtown Los
Angeles. The play was performed
by a troupe of homeless and
former-homeless performers in
the non-profit theatre company
Dramastage-Qumran.
Schofield, also the director
of the Office of Religious Life’s
Spirituality and Sexuality
Program, hopes the events
throughout the week motivate
and encourage students to
connect more viscerally to the
issue of homelessness.
“We want to meet students
where they are,” Schofield said.
“If you’re more comfortable
donating money or clothing to
a homeless service agency, or
learning more about affordable
housing in L.A., that’s a great
place to start. If you want to
meet homeless individuals, hear
their stories and get connected
with local organizations that
advocate on behalf of the
homeless and hungry, we’ve got
these opportunities as well.”
Vivian Yan, a junior and
one of the co-presidents of SC
Homelessness Initiative, said
